Answer:
a) Please, see the attched figure
b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)
c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))
d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.
The total distance traveled is 102 km
Explanation:
a)Please, see the attached figure.
b) The vector A can be expressed as:
A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)
Where
magnitude = 42 km
α= 0
Then,
A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i
In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:
B = ( Bx ; By)
where
(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and
cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)
Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km
By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)
B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j
C = (Cx; Cy)
where
Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km
Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km
C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)
Then:
R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)
= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j
c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)
The magnitude of R is:
Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:
Knowing that
tan α = opposite / adjacent
and that
opposite = Ry = -4.8 km
adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km
Then:
tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km
α = -3.5°
We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:
R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))
d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):
magnitude R = 78. 4 km
The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:
Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km
Here if we assume that there is no air friction on both balls then we can say
now the acceleration is given as
so here both the balls will have same acceleration irrespective of size and mass
so we can say that to find out the time of fall of ball we can use
now from above equation we can say that time taken to hit the ground will be same for both balls and it is irrespective of its mass and size
